Argentum Medical

What Argentum Medical does

Argentum Medical, LLC is a privately held U.S. medical device manufacturer and distributor specializing in antimicrobial wound care, burn care, and surgical infection-prevention products. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Geneva, Illinois, the company operates as a subsidiary of Bravida Medical and maintains a second customer-service office in Largo, Florida, plus a newly opened manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia. The core product portfolio is built around silver-plated nylon dressing technology (Silverlon) that delivers sustained antimicrobial action for up to seven days without staining skin or increasing bioburden, supplemented by SilverTrak capillary-action dressings (TheraBond 3D), modified sodium hypochlorite cleansers and gels (Anasept, Silversept), proprietary hydrocolloid adhesive products (CathGrip, Men's Liberty, KindKlamp), and adjacent consumables (BioPlus+, FreeDerm, Wound Care Resources DME). Underlying technical differentiators include FDA-cleared broad-spectrum antimicrobial claims, non-cytotoxic formulations, and a clinical evidence base exceeding 50 peer-reviewed publications across burn care, LVAD driveline infection, ECMO cannula care, CLABSI reduction, and surgical site infection prevention.

Argentum sells exclusively through institutional healthcare channels, with no direct-to-consumer retail motion. Distribution is anchored by four national group purchasing organizations — Vizient, Health Trust, Premier, and Ascension — and four kitting partners — Medline, Trinity, Cardinal Health, and Owens & Minor — that integrate the company's dressings and cleansers into medical supply kits and contracted procurement pricing for member hospitals. The company sells through enterprise field sales targeting healthcare organizations and burn units, with supporting clinical evidence marketing at medical conferences (ISHLT, SAWC, EWMA, NTI, AVA, ABA) and through a clinician education platform called Bravida Academy. Silverlon is the designated burn and blast dressing of the U.S. Army, and reference customers include University of Kansas Health System, Tampa General Hospital, Stanford Medicine, UCSF, Mercy Health, and Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of consumable medical devices under quote-based institutional pricing with Medicare HCPCS reimbursement codes available for select products.
